So 300 base, plus the 100 or whatever RSU grant, plus 45-75K bonus?

L4 base is DEFINITELY NOT $300k. I think it's quite rare for L4s to have a base higher than $200k.

But total compensation is likely higher than you mentioned.

You have an initial grant that vests over 4 years that currently is absurdly high - usually more than your base (after appreciation).

Then you have 4 of the grants that stack each year. Plus your 15-25% cash bonus.

Plus you usually get a couple small ($1-$5k) bonuses throughout the year for the projects you're working on.

FAANG salaries are no joke. Especially Google and FB.

For L5: - base is 175k+ (Usually around 180-200k, if not newly promoted). - 15% cash bonus - 120-150k$ worth rsu

These are for average performers. Above average performers get up to ~100% more bonus and rsu

At each promotion, these numbers increase by around 15-20%. (Same for L4->L5 promotion, but L4 is not a senior level at Google)

* These are ballpark Bay Area numbers for L5 to L8.
